We’re so excited to see her settle into Cookie’s Cottage, and we know she will flourish and thrive!

Fortunately, we had the space to take her in, and how lucky we are to experience Omelette! She’s the sweetest, most playful girl, it’s hard to imagine her any other way. She can still get anxious when no one else is around, but that’ll change once she has her kitty roommates to keep her company!

After surgery and her vaccines, she was about to be put up for adoption when they discovered she had Feline Leukemia. The staff began worrying for her health, and they knew they needed to find her placement somewhere before her time was up.

Anyone order some Omelette? 🍳☀️ No? Well, Omelette is our newest resident at the Sanctuary. Here's her story! Omelette comes from Converse, near San Antonio. She was originally brought to the shelter because she was so tiny and pregnant, needing to be spayed right away.

It's Monday morning, and Lottie's feeling awfully chatty! Meanwhile Bebe, the Yin to her Yang, is stuck hitting snooze😴 These FeLV+ kitties reside in Cookie's Kingdom. Lottie can be particular with her affection towards her roommates, but has a soft spot for Bebe! 💚

Whether rain or shine, it's always Caturday 'round these parts😼🌧 Our cats might be going a little stir crazy inside, but Crinkle Fry's always looking on the bright side! Bailey, on the other hand, is taking this stormy day as an excuse to sleep in, can you blame her?

Our hearts are heavy at this time, as we had to say goodbye to two sweet boys, Vance and Atlas. Vance was with us for over 3 years, Atlas only a week, but each caught a large part of our hearts, and they will both be missed. Please visit our Facebook page to read their memorials 💚 buff.ly/rrSiLHV

During her adjustment period in isolation, we were all convinced we would not see much of this cat. She was extremely shy and scared, hiding the second she heard the door open. But, once settled into Cookie’s Cottage, she quickly cozied up to affection from staff, volunteers, and visitors.

After some battling, she was finally healthy enough to be spayed and have her infected eye removed, but it was discovered that Leela was Feline Leukemia positive. We luckily had room to take her in, so off to Shadow Cats she went!

Leela comes all the way from Victoria, Texas. Born to a backyard colony and in poor health, a Good Samaritan rescued her and her sister from the situation. Unfortunately, her sister passed away, leaving Leela by herself.

When her caretakers noticed she was sick, they brought her in for care and it was discovered she has feline leukemia. So to Shadow Cats she came! Though still shy, she loves to receive affection and gives it back in return 💚

How’s about a little smile from Mango to get you through the middle of the week? 😸 This sweet gal spends a lot of her time resting in a bed but she’s earned the right to do so. Her life started on the streets near Houston as a community cat.

On a serious note, we're so proud of this girl and how far she's come. She was not dealt a good hand, spending the first couple months of her life fighting off a persistent case of ringworm. No one ever gave up on her, and we're fighting for her harder than ever!

CORALINE TURNS 2 TODAY! 😻🎆🎉 A FeLV+ resident in Cookie's Cottage, Coraline definitely keeps the rest of these guys on their toes. One second, she'll approach one of her roomies looking for love, and the next, she's batting at them. It's her world, and we're just living in it!

Bailey just found out you haven’t supported her room for our Shadow Cats On Parade fundraiser… and well her face says it all. Let’s make this sweet tuxie’s frown turn upside down and support hers or any of the other rooms! Check the link in our profile for more info 💚

And Callie, also a FeLV+ in Cookie's Cottage, is as sweet as they come. This girl can make friends with anyone - person or cat - no matter what. She particularly conjures a soft spot for herself in her more feral roommates, which can really help them adjust to their new home. Happy Caturday! 🤸‍♀️😸

Enzo, a FeLV+ resident in Cookie's Cottage, can be somewhat peculiar about his affection. He'll hide under a box or in a cat tree when you walk in the room, but is always the first cat to sit on your lap once seated.

Bruce is our bodyguard in Wild Side. He might be physically intimidating, but right underneath the surface is a big ol' teddy bear. To people, that is; his roommate Crinkle Fry does not get "sweet" Bruce that often.
